The breakthrough provided by plasma-based accelerators enabled unprecedented accelerating fields boosting electron beams to gigaelectronvolt energies within a few centimeters [1-4]. This, in turn, allows the realization of ultracompact light sources based on free-electron lasers (FELs) [5], as demonstrated two pioneering experiments that reported observation self-amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) driven plasma-accelerated [6,7]. However, lack stability and reproducibility due intrinsic...
Next-generation plasma-based accelerators can push electron beams to GeV energies within centimetre distances. The plasma, excited by a driver pulse, is indeed able sustain huge electric fields that efficiently accelerate trailing witness bunch, which was experimentally demonstrated on multiple occasions. Thus, the main focus of current research being shifted towards achieving high quality beam after plasma acceleration. In this letter we present beam-driven wakefield acceleration...
Abstract Coherent emission coming from relativistic charged bunches is of great interest in a wide range user-oriented applications and high-resolution diagnostics. The complete characterization such therefore important view understanding its potential. Here we present temporally-resolved the radiation emitted by ultra-short electron using temporal diagnostic based on electro-optical sampling with few tens fs resolution. We have characterized, for first time to our knowledge, evolution (in...
